Joanne Miller who is a customer of "Don's Pizza" which is located in Warwick Rhode Island who met Donald Ryan who was the owner of the pizza store that he owned before he had to close his store since he is battling 4 pancreatic cancer did something nice for him to repay him for his kindness in support of his community. Joanne started a Facebook page to pray for the recovery of his illness as their way of thanking him for being such an honorable person in the community. The site reached 2,000 members where one of the Facebook community was Alicia Rathbun who started a Go Fund Me page with the goal of paying off Don's medical debts which were in the $10,000 dollar range. Even though the goal of $10,000 dollars has been reached, there are more donations coming to assist Don feel better through his current challenges dealing with his illness since his hard work in doing good deeds to his community has finally paid off since even though Don and his wife are selling their pizza company, they have found happiness through the kindness of strangers in their community.

Good deeds do get repaid in due time. Social media does have its good merits.
